Idaho: Lewis Clark Byway Guide.Pdf The Lewis and Clark Backcountry Byway AND ADVENTURE ROAD Tendoy, Idaho Meriwether Lewis’s journal entry on August 18, 1805 —American Philosophical Society The Lewis and Clark Back Country Byway AND ADVENTURE ROAD Tendoy, Idaho The Lewis and Clark Back Country Byway and Adventure Road is a 36 mile loop drive through a beautiful and historic landscape on the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. The mountains, evergreen forests, high desert canyons, and grassy foothills look much the same today as when the Lewis and Clark Expedition passed through in 1805. THE PUBLIC LANDS CENTER Salmon-Challis National Forest and BLM Salmon Field Office 1206 S. Challis Street / Salmon, ID 83467 / (208)756-5400 BLM/ID/GI-15/006+1220 Getting There The portal to the Byway is Tendoy, Idaho, which is nineteen miles south of Salmon on Idaho Highway 28. From Montana, exit from I-15 at Clark Canyon Reservoir south of Dillon onto Montana Highway 324. Drive west past Grant to an intersection at the Shoshone Ridge Overlook. If you’re pulling a trailer or driving an RV with a passenger vehicle in tow, it would be a good idea to leave your trailer or RV at the overlook, which has plenty of parking, a vault toilet, and interpretive signs. Travel road 3909 west 12 miles to Lemhi Pass. Please respect private property along the road and obey posted speed signs. Salmon, Idaho, and Dillon, Montana, are full- service communities. Limited services are available in Tendoy, Lemhi, and Leadore, Idaho and Grant, Montana. Traveling the Byway is a Real Adventure! • The Byway is a single-lane gravel road with pullouts. Passenger vehicles can drive the road safely but must have good tires. Buses, RVs, and trailers are not recommended on the Agency Creek Road [see map], which is narrow and has some tight corners. Even if you’re experienced in mountain driving, drive slowly and carefully. • There are three segments to the Byway. First is the “Lemhi back road” in the Lemhi Valley near Tendoy. Second is the “Warm Springs Wood Road” [185] from the valley into the Beaverhead Mountains to Lemhi Pass. The third segment is the Agency Creek road [013] from Lemhi Pass back to Tendoy. • With a 4,000 foot gain and loss in elevation, expect some steep grades, at times approaching 20%. A hard climb on a hot day can cause your vehicle engine to overheat. Shift into low gear, turn off the air conditioning and open your windows. • The Byway is normally free of snow from early June through October. To check on current road conditions call the Public Lands Center in Salmon at (208) 756-5400. 2 • There are numerous opportunities for hiking and mountain biking. At lower elevations, be alert for rattlesnakes. • Cell phone coverage is sporadic at best. • The remains of mining operations are scattered throughout the area. These sites can be very hazardous. Stay out, and stay alive. • Plan on taking a minimum of three hours to drive the Byway. Drive carefully and slowly, even if you’re accustomed to mountain driving. Parts of the Byway traverse steep, exposed slopes and there are no guardrails. Checklist for a Safe & Enjoyable Journey At least half a tank of gasoline A properly inflated spare tire, jack, and lug wrench Drinking water; water from springs and streams must be chemically treated or filtered First aid kit Extra food Sweater and rain gear–it can snow year-round at 8,600’ elevation Flashlight Camera and film, binoculars Books to identify birds and wildflowers 3 A Perfect Set: Mule Deer Antlers Western Meadowlark Idaho’s State Flower: Syringa 4 Scenic Attractions The Byway traverses four habitats: river valley, sagebrush grasslands, mountain forests and meadows, and high desert canyons. The views of the Lemhi Valley and the surrounding mountain ranges are incredible. This is truly some of the finest scenery in America. Wildflowers are prolific in spring and summer. Early mornings and evenings are the times to look for wildlife, particularly where forest and meadow meet. You might see elk, mule and whitetail deer, black bear, moose, pronghorn antelope, coyotes, and many smaller mammal species. Among the many bird species present are golden eagle, red- tailed hawk, chukar, hungarian partridge, blue grouse, sage grouse, nighthawk, mallard duck, Canada goose, great blue heron, mourning dove, boreal owl, four hummingbird species, belted kingfisher, flicker, Lewis’ woodpecker, magpie, Stellar’s Jay, Clark’s nutcracker, chickadee, tree swallow, robin, blue bird, cedar waxwing, Western tanager, song sparrow, Western meadowlark, Brewer’s blackbird, and American goldfinch. Wildflowers bloom in spring and summer, their presence varying according to weather, elevation, and each species’ characteristic requirements. Lemhi Pass is well-known for its wildflower displays. Captain Lewis collected three new plant species in this area: mountain maple, common snowberry, and Lewis’s monkey flower. You may also see desert buckwheat, sunflowers, arrow-leaf balsamroot, buttercups, glacier lilies, larkspur, sticky geranium, sego lily, lupine, forget-me-not, yarrow, bitterroot, phlox, spring beauty, blanket flower, asters, violets, paintbrush, currants, evening primrose, yellow monkey flower, valerian, flax, blazing star, serviceberry, and syringa. By late September shorter days and cooler temperatures release hues of red, yellow, and gold in aspens, cottonwoods, willows, and shrubs. Agency Creek is beautiful in October. 5 Shoshone fish weir on the Lemhi River, 1906 —Smithsonian Institution Shoshone man fishing on the Lemhi River, 1906 —Smithsonian Institution 6 Native Americans The Lewis and Clark Expedition did not blaze new paths here. They followed long-established Indian trails. This is the homeland of the Agai Dika [“salmon eater”] Shoshone, who came to be known as the Lemhi Shoshone after the Mormon settlement of Ft. Lemhi was established in the 1850s. Archaeological evidence suggests that the Shoshone may have arrived possibly 3,500 years ago. The chinook and sockeye salmon that returned here from the Pacific Ocean every summer to spawn were at the center of Lemhi life and culture. Early in the 18th century the Lemhi acquired horses, which greatly increased their standard of living. The men used horses to hunt bison and to transport a winter’s supply of bison “jerky” to winter campsites. Women tanned bison hides and sewed them together to make tepees, which were hauled by horses wherever the family went. Hunting bison took the Lemhi onto the game-rich plains of central Montana, where they came into conflict with other tribes. When their enemies the Blackfeet, Atsina, and Hidatsa acquired firearms from Canadian traders in the late 18th century, the Lemhi retreated to their mountain homeland. An annual bison hunt was still conducted, often with allies such as the Salish [Flatheads], Nez Perce, and Crow tribes. Sacagawea was kidnapped by the Hidatsa during a bison hunt around 1800. She was taken to the Knife River villages in North Dakota, where she and her husband Charbonneau joined the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Fur traders and trappers eventually reached the Lemhi Valley, then missionaries and finally miners and settlers. The Lemhi, now including Sheepeater and Bannock families who had joined the Shoshone, remained peaceful, but found it increasingly difficult to hunt, fish, and gather food in their traditional manner. 7 Fanny Silver was born on the Lemhi Reservation near Tendoy about 1897. She was at boarding school in Fort Shaw, Montana when the Lemhi Shoshone were marched to Fort Hall in 1907. Her family returned to the Lemhi Valley to hunt, fish and gather plants in the traditional manner. Silver died in 1985 when she was eighty eight years old. —Photography by Jed Wilson, 1971 8 President U. S. Grant authorized a small reservation for the Lemhi in the 1870s, but the federal government pressured them to move south to an existing Shoshone Bannock reservation at Fort Hall in 1907. Learn more history by visiting the Sacajawea Center in Salmon and read the names of more than 500 Lemhi who trekked to Fort Hall. The Lewis and Clark Expedition In August 1805 the Lewis and Clark Expedition reached the headwaters of the Missouri River. Lewis set out on foot with a small party to find the Shoshone, Sacagawea’s people, whose horses he hoped would help portage the Expedition’s baggage over the divide. But the mountain barrier he saw to the west from Lemhi Pass suddenly complicated the mission. Could there be a navigable river through such mountains? If not, then the Expedition must buy horses. If they could not find the Shoshone, or if the tribe refused to sell, the Corps of Discovery had only one option: return down the Missouri. Nothing less than the success of the Expedition, and the future of the United States, were at stake. Euro-American Settlement Trappers, explorers, and missionaries followed in the wake of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Permanent settlement began in the 1860s when gold was discovered in the nearby mountains and miners arrived. The Lemhi Valley was bracketed by the towns of Salmon City at the mouth of the Lemhi River and Junction at its headwaters. The valley and its major tributaries were soon occupied by ranchers and farmers, many of whose descendants still live here today. The land that was not claimed by settlers was eventually brought under the management of the United States Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. 9 LOCATION MAP k e Baker e r C IDAHO MONTANA t t P r a Salmon S a n d y C r . k e e r C y r . e C n e k n t t e e e K a e P r Mile 8.2 C Flag Unfurling .

  • Chief (Tin Doi) Tendoy 1834 -1907 Leader of a Mixed Band of Bannock
    Introducing 2012 Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame Inductee… Chief (Tin Doi) Tendoy 1834 -1907 Leader of a mixed band of Bannock, Lemhi, Shoshone & Tukuarika tribes Chief Tendoy (Tin Doi) was born in the Boise River region of what is now the state of Idaho in approximately 1834. The son of father Kontakayak (called Tamkahanka by white settlers), a Bannock Shoshone and a"Sheep Eater" Shoshone mother who was a distant cousin to the mother of Chief Washakie. Tendoy was the nephew of Cameahwait and Sacajewea. Upon the murder of Chief Old Snag by Bannack miners in 1863 Tendoy became chief of the Lemhi Shoshone. Revered by white settlers as a peacemaker Chief Tendoy kept members of his tribe from joining other tribes in their war with the whites. He led his people, known as Tendoy's Band, more than 40 years. He was a powerful force to reckoned with in negotiations with the federal government and keeping his tribe on peaceful terms with oncoming white settlers. In 1868, with his band of people struggling to survive as miners and settlers advanced upon their traditional hunting, fishing and gathering grounds, Chief Tendoy and eleven fellow Lemhi and Bannock leaders signed a treaty surrendering their tribal lands in exchange for an annual payment by the federal government as well as two townships along the north fork of the Salmon River. The treaty, having never been ratified, forced the tribe to move to a desert reservation known as Fort Hall, created for the Shoshone tribes in 1867. Chief Tendoy refused, expecting what the government had promised.

  • Strike Them Hard! the Baker Massacre Play by Ramona Big Head
    “STRIKE THEM HARD!” THE BAKER MASSACRE PLAY RAMONA BIG HEAD B.Ed., University of Lethbridge, 1996 A Project Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF EDUCATION FACULTY OF EDUCATION LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA March 2009 In memory of Apaisapiaakii (Galina) iii Abstract The oral tradition of story-telling among the Blackfoot is still strong. However, in order to keep the tradition alive for future generations, educators are beginning to step outside the box to allow for innovative ways to bring the stories back to life for students. By writing a play about the 1870 Baker Massacre, and staging it with Blackfoot students from the Kainai Board of Education school system, I have successfully found another way to engage First Nation students from Kindergarten through grade 12. This is the first time the story of the Baker Massacre has been told from the perspective of Blackfoot children. A good portion of the research was taken from oral accounts of actual descendents of the survivors of the massacre. Most of the survivors were young children, including my great-great grandmother, Holy Bear Woman. The Baker Massacre became a forgotten and lost story. However, by performing this play to an audience of approximately 1000 over the course of six performances, including a debut performance in New York City, there is a good chance that this story will not fall into obscurity again. The process of researching, writing and staging this play also had a major impact on my own personal healing and well-being.

VALUES IN TRANSITION: THE CHIRICAHUA APACHE FROM 1886-1914 John W Ragsdale, Jr.* Abstract Law confirms but seldom determines the course of a society. Values and beliefs, instead, are the true polestars, incrementally implemented by the laws, customs, and policies. The Chiricahua Apache, a tribal society of hunters, gatherers, and raiders in the mountains and deserts of the Southwest, were squeezed between the growing populations and economies of the United States and Mexico. Raiding brought response, reprisal, and ultimately confinement at the loathsome San Carlos Reservation. Though most Chiricahua submitted to the beginnings of assimilation, a number of the hardiest and least malleable did not. Periodic breakouts, wild raids through New Mexico and Arizona, and a labyrinthian, nearly impenetrable sanctuary in the Sierra Madre led the United States to an extraordinary and unprincipled overreaction.

  • Kidnapped and Sold Into Marriage on the Lewis and Clark Expedition
    Fact or Fiction? Name: _________________________ Below is a passage on Sacagawea. On the following page is a chart with ten statements. Indicate whether each statement is fact or fiction. Sacagawea was born sometime around 1790. She is best known for her role in assisting the Lewis and Clark expedition. She and her husband were guides from the Great Plains to the Pacific Ocean and back. Kidnapped and Sold into Marriage Sacagawea was kidnapped from her Shoshone village by Hidatsa Indians when she was twelve years old. She was promptly sold into slavery. She was then sold to a French fur trapper by the name of Toussaint Charbonneau. The pair became married and had a son named Jean-Baptiste. On the Lewis and Clark Expedition Although there are conflicting opinions concerning how important Sacagawea was to the Lewis and Clark expedition, she did serve as the interpreter and negotiator to the Shoshone tribe - that was led by her brother Cameahwait. She helped them obtain essential supplies and horses while she carried her infant son on her back. Furthermore, Sacagawea helped identify edible plants and herbs and prevented hostile relations with other tribes simply by being with the expedition. She was even more important on the return trip because she was familiar with the areas in which the expedition was traveling. Lewis and Clark received credit for discovering hundreds of animals and plants that Sacagawea had probably seen for years. Although she received no payment for her help, her husband was rewarded with cash and land. Death and Adoption of her Children Six years after the journey, Sacagawea died after giving birth to her daughter Lisette.
